So if you don't have a sandbox attribute, modals (for instance) are
allowed, but if you have a sandbox attribute with an empty value, 
modals
are disallowed?

Seems that people who use the sandbox attribute would care about
restricting the capabilities of the iframe, so would be happy (?) to 
see
usermedia starting out as default off, while people who don't use it
would perhaps want the default (with no sandbox attribute) to be the
status quo - that it's allowed on.

Would that be the best of all possible worlds?
